White House Report Shows Little Progress
By Anne Gearan, Associated Press


A new White House report on Iraq will show improved progress on just one of 18 political and security goals - efforts to allow former members of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party to rejoin the political process, a senior administration official told The Associated Press.

The latest conclusions, to be released Friday, largely track a comparable poor assessment in July. The earlier White House report said the Iraqi government had made satisfactory gains toward eight benchmarks, unsatisfactory marks on eight and mixed results on two.

Congress required President Bush to submit the report to lawmakers, assessing whether the Iraqi government had made progress toward achieving the 18 goals. In the new report, the Iraqi government showed movement on only one of the benchmarks.

To quote Tonto, "What do you mean WE white man?"

If I was, my question would have been "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?"

petraeus had nothing to work with, yet they castrated the democrats.....my faith is quickly eroding

a kind of, 'If you troops don't put out, I'm leaving you there to die. Indefinitely!' They can't come home until there's progress. WTF is that supposed to mean? Iraq has gone down hill since the day Bush shocked and awed it, and it's not going to get any better with our military presence there.

WASHINGTON - President Bush, defending an unpopular war, ordered gradual reductions in U.S. forces in Iraq on Thursday night and said, “The more successful we are, the more American troops can return home.”


the more successful we are???? :wtf: successful at what, killing more innocent people.
